Poll for illustration #73

Here's the poll for #73! Find the thumbnail sketches below that you think could be coolest when they're painted and give them a vote. The new ones I added may be a little bit more polished in some ways than the other ones, but I ask that you don't let that distract you from seeing the potential in each sketch. :)

The change in sketching style in the two new sketches felt pretty good. In those I kinda just started blocking in colors right off the bat instead of doing the more structured approach of separating values and colors like I've done in the other ones. Blocking in colors is an approach that is a bit more intimidating to me since there are more things to mentally juggle. But when it works I like the results better.

If you wanna see which illustration I'll be working on next while this poll is running, check the results of the previous poll.

BEYOND thrilled that 8 won, but 9 is also amazing and I'd love to see it one day.

Simon Delott

Pls vote 5

I'll never stop voting for 9, I'd love to see those props and that background rendered.

I can't decide between 1, 2 and 9. I really like 9s BG!

Dazaster Dellus

Ufff, Luke is going to town so good on her in #1 😍

Griffin Barrows

Cum on #7!

Deveria

Too many good options.

Goofey Disney

I mean, what more could you really do to it though? I can't really think of any changes that would elevate it.

Yujate

#6 is always pretty high in votes and has stayed around for a while. Maybe a small change will make it a definate winner? I bet the toy lovers and full exposure lovers are wanting that one.

Lewis Rainwater

Number 5 have SOOO delicious colors. i vote for her)

Eva Solo

I vote 6, I always vote for it, even though it never gets made!

Wesley Gunder

All ideas are gorgeous, but #5 and #8 just blow my mind!!

Lord-Kvento

I voted for #1 but there are no losers here.

Populuxe

I keep dreaming, but beginning to doubt.......:(

I'm glad you think so, Mary! Ideally it shouldn't matter too much how pretty the thumbnail sketches are, since it's supposed to just be the idea that is presented. They can all reach the same level of polish in the end, right? But it is kind of expected that people go for what looks prettiest at the time, so you're right that they could draw fresh attention if they got an update, and it is something I think about. :) I've got a couple dozen older sketches too that could use an update. But I also have ideas for new concepts that could be even better, so it all kinda comes down to where I feel it's most beneficial to spend my time. I wish I had infinite time. 😅

One day #6 will win

Jean-Christophe

Calm, your thumbnails are starting to look better than most artists fully rendered paintings, you absolute madman 😂

Matty Thunders

In fact, just changed my vote to 8 lol

Simon Delott

You know what? I voted for 9 but I have ZERO complaints about seeing 8 in the lead. Demons are . . . yeah, that's a good piece.

Simon Delott

I want it all!

Shadow_Wolf85

Hi Calm! I am so excited! I feel that your style has evolved, and has taken on a new and different life. Would you ever consider making fresh thumbnails for your older compositions in this list? Maybe they would draw fresh attention to the compositions that haven’t been voted for yet? 🥰

Mary Wente

Plenty of great ones here, but 8 is just hot as fuck.

I second this!!! Its amazing <3

Great choices as always but I gotta go for 5! The colours are just so insanely vibrant and I really like the cute, intimate feel from her reaching down and holding the guys hand 😊
